Geocache Description:

This is a small cache hidden on a public footpath. In the Jungle Book film (Disney) Hathi the Elephant is the Colonel of the other Elephant's and makes them parade around (all day). But he is kept under control by his wife who makes Hathi go and look for Mowgli.

The Jungle Book Series is a circular walk on public footpaths around the Brock Valley. There are seven caches traditional caches containing clues to the final cache, Shere Khan’s Lair.

The paths on some parts of the walk are steep and slippery. Walking boots or Wellingtons are essential in all but the driest weather. The walk is not suitable for pushchairs or very young children. Particular care is needed on the board walks by the river Brock which are very slippery when wet.

To find the final cache of the series you will have to visit some of the seven caches to find out the values of W, X, Y and Z..
We advise that you park at Brockmill car park on Brockmill
Lane.
The car park is closed every night.
